• Drive sourcing systems strategy and supplier intelligence platforms - selecting, integrating, and scaling tools that strengthen decision quality, accelerate cycle times, and enable AI-driven analytics.

SAP, Forecasting Tools & Procurement Automation

• Define automation-readiness criteria (ABC/XYZ classification, forecast predictability, supplier reliability, master data quality, lead-time stability, MOQ accuracy, price validity, delivery performance, exception history) and apply them to identify parts, suppliers, commodities, and plants ready for automation versus those requiring intervention.

• Advance a future-state model where routine transactions are system-driven and sourcing teams focus on exceptions, supplier performance, risk, and strategic value creation.

International & Enterprise Sourcing

• Set strategy for international supplier development, qualification, and performance management across global and low-cost-country programs.

• Evaluate global sourcing opportunities through a disciplined total-cost and risk lens - tariff exposure, logistics, geopolitical risk, supplier capability, currency, quality, lead time, and resilience.
